I absolutely despise plain white backgrounds.
I think a good background can either make or break your art. This is why I try to paint with as much attention to my background as I do to my subjects. My intention with this has always been to add to what the subject is portraying and create an atmosphere that resonates with the painting's narrative.
Human faces have always intrigued me. Each face, each frown, each fine line speaks volumes. All these tiny details convey a story of its own, but only if we look close enough.
I like to think that faces and how they are drawn can portray emotions and feelings that perhaps not even words can. As a portrait artist, I love playing around with expressions to bring the painting come to life. In this, I love working with traditional mediums i.e. acrylics and oils on canvas and sometimes even charcoal and graphite on Bristol.
